What really boggles the mind is, he isn't even savvy. He's literally an idiot. I can only imagine the damage if he was a competent fascist, but maybe that's what it took to find his people, idk. I just hope his stupidity helps in his undoing. We have a lot to rebuild and time is wasting.

    Hitler was an idiot, too.

    Fascism does not require competence to be deadly, and imo, a massive disservice has been done by popular media over the years making Hitler out to be some sort of mastermind. If anything, fascism is more deadly in the hands of an insolent child.

    Seriously, read that article and mentally switch ‘trump’ for ‘hitler’ and tell me how uncanny it is.

    Also, trump is not actually in charge. This is a danger of thinking when he’s gone – which will be soon one way or another – the danger will be over. It won’t be. He’s a carnival barker, and the real danger will still be there, using the power he’s given them by rubber-stamp EOs. They (eta: Christian Nationalists) have dug in like ticks now.
